[Hook]
Baby, you understand me now
If sometimes you see that I'm mad
Don't you know no one alive can always be an angel
When everything goes wrong, you see some bad
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

[Verse 1]
Uhu, misunderstood ain't gotta be explained
But you don't understand me so let me explain (hu)
Stood in the heat, the flames, the snow
Please slow down hurricane
The wind blow, my dreads swang
He had hair like wool, like wayne (hu)
Dropping ashes in the bible
I shake em out and they fall on the rifle
Scary, hail mary no tale fairy
All real, very, extraordinary
Perry mason facing, the barrel if he tattle
My God is my judge, no gown no gavel
Oh I'm a rebel, down to battle
Now or never, I would never? In the F'er
Fucking fantastic, fuck if you agree, I'm bright,
But I don't give a fuck if you see me

[Hook]
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

[Verse 2]
What's understood ain't gotta be explained
So for those who understand, meet Dwayne
For 8 and a half months I gave ms. cit da pain
Now it's young money baby, keep the change
My mama say fuck'em and we the same
So hello mothafucker you got some sheets to change
And ain't it funny how people change like easter sunday
You know church fit then outfit,
Bright pink and green chest look house lit
Bright pinky rings but that ain't about this
What you bout bitch?
Excuse my french emotion in my passion
But I wear my heart on my sleeve like it's the new fashion
What are you asking, if I don't have the answer
It's probably on the web, like I'm a damn tarantula
But I know you don't understand, cause you thought lil wayne is weezy
But weezy is Dwayne

[Hook]
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
O lord please don't let me be misunderstood

[Verse 3]
I was watching t.v. the other day right
Got this white guy up there talking about black guys
Talking about how young black guys are targeted
Targeted by who? america
You see one in every 100 americans are locked up
One in every 9 black americans are locked up
And see what the white guy was trying to stress was that
The money we spend on sending a mothafucker to jail,
A young mothafucker to jail,
Would be less to send his or her young ass to college (ha)
See, and another thing the white guy was stressing was that
Our jails are populated with drug dealers, you know, crack/cocaine, stuff like that
Meaning due to the laws we have on crack/cocaine and regular cocaine
The police are only, I don't want to say only right, but shit
Only logic by riding around in the hood all day
And not in the suburbs
Because crack/cocaine is mostly found in the hood
And, uhh, you know the other thing is mostly found in you know where I'm going
But why bring a mothafucker to jail if it's not gon stand up, in court
Cause this drug ain't that drug, you know level 3, level 4 drug, shit like that (uhuha)
Mhmm... I guess it's all a misunderstanding, and humm,
I sit back and think, you know us young mothafuckers you know that 1 in 9
We probably only selling the crack/cocaine because we in the hood
And it's not like in the suburbs, we don't have what you have
Why? I really don't wanna know the answer
I guess we just misunderstood humm? (haha) Yeah...
You know we don't have room in the jail now for the real mothafuckers,
The real criminals, you know,
Sex offenders, rapists, (haha) serial killers
Shit like that.
Don't get scared, don't get scared
I know you, if you saw one of them sex offenders on the papers
Don't trip, he live right only into your block, mhmm, yeah,
That nigga live right down the street from you
The sex offender, on the level 3 drug, convicted, ex-con,
Yeah, check them out.
And what you got?
You got daughters, son, what you got? (haha)
Yeah, but you know what? [cough]
Thats a trap, thats to go eat.
You know what? I have a fucking daughter.
You understand me? And, why the fuck would you bring my label to jail
Just because, the reason why he live next door to me,
Ain't the reason why I live next door to him.
Meaning, he didn't wrap his way to my fucking neighborhood,
He sold crack/cocaine to get to my neighborhood.
You move him out, bring him to jail for life.
And then you move in the sex offender (haha)
They give me a paper (haha), is that a misunderstanding,
'Cause I don't understand this. (hahaha)
Another thing! Let me take my glasses off, 'cause I wanna see the reaction
On the faces, when I say this. Uuuh... Mr. L Shopter, here is why I don't respect you,
And nobody like you, (huhu)
See, you're the type that, get's off on getting on other people.(haha)
That's not good, no, no, no...
They rather unhuman, I should say,
I mean, given the fact that humanity while good humanity rather, to me,
Is helping one another, don't matter your color or race,
But this guy! And people like him, they rather speculate before they informate,
If that's the word... (huhu)
You know? Spec, before check. Anyways, meaning I much rather
You talk to me first and see if you can lend an opinion, before you make one.
Just my tought of good humanity, Mr. Shopter (haha)
Hold on, I ain't finished with you man. Gotta plug that just... uhum... hold on.
Hmm, Mr. Shoter, and anyone like you, you don't know me.
So, if you're not gonna try to, then what you say, or think about me are whatever I do
Is totally ?caspit? to finally to finally goes... to me.
And, it doesn't make you a good person to criticize before you improvise.
Doesn't necessarily make you a bad person either,
But the caracteristics fall heavily into bad's way. (haha)
But since I am human, I am good and bad aswell.
But I try my hardest to stay good. And some of the things I do and say may be bad,
Or just not too good (uhu), but I do try.
So with that said, I don't fault you, I mean, you only human (uhuhu),
Good or bad... But I also don't respect you,
And I don't care if that's good or bad (haha),
You see, you are no MLK, you are no Jesse Jackson, you are NOBODY... to me.
You just another Don King, but a burn. (hahahaha)
Just a little more political, and I just mean you're a little un-human then us, humans. (ha!)
And now, let me be human by saying, fuck L Shopter, and anyone like him.
Fuck if you don't understand me, I love beeing misunderstood (huhu)
Why? 'Cause I live in the suburbs but I come from the hood, bring the hook back!

[Hook]
But I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh lord, please don't let me be misunderstood...
